I am so glad I found IC. The India Cafe showed up in a online search as basically the only place I could get a dosa in SRQ land…you may think this is not a big deal but it is, trust me, especially after finding one restaurant that had them on their online menu and upon calling to inquire and finding out they do not make them anymore. This is the only place on the area to get your dosa fix.
If you have not had a dosa before you are missing out! Upon calling it was explained to me that dosas are only available during lunch hours and advanced notice is preferred as making them takes some extra time. I took my newfound knowledge and waited patiently until two days to order just after they opened. I love the easy online ordering system and that there is an option for curbside pickup. Post ordering I was instructed to call when I was there to pick up and I offered to go inside but the woman working (she appeared to be an owner) said she could bring my order out to me which was so much appreciated.
My Mysore Dosa was EXCELLENT and the coconut chutney accompaniment was delicious. If you do not know what a dosa is it’s essentially a very thin rice and lentil pancake that can be enjoyed as is or with a filling. The dosa itself got a little soft in the styrofoam packaging as it was hot and I imagine steamed up a bit in there but I did not really mind. The filling was flavorful and already in the dosa (it was not packaged/served separately like some places do). I greatly enjoyed every bite as it was so delectable and the homemade chutney was a nice but not necessary addition to enjoy the dosa.
I also got a vegan lunch plate because “Why not?” to have for lunch tomorrow. I did have a few tastes of the meal and it was awesome. I love the lemon rice it comes with a the two curries as well as the vegetables served with it were flavorful. There is an addition of peanuts in the rice (at least I think they are peanuts) so if you have an allergy you want to be mindful of this. The vegan lunch meal comes with roti and the vegetarian lunch plate is served with naan.
Please check out the India Cafe for great southern Indian style food. The style of food and offerings are a bit more unique than other Indian food I have had and I have had a variety. I will definitely return and look forward to doing so
Orig I got a flyer in the mail and stopped by to check it out.WE ate here yesterday. It’s big it’s beautiful, we had the most amazing lunch We loved it so much we tried to go back at the same night to eat again! (But it was too late)
Dustin put our meals together, and we met Jane, the owner .. who was so interesting.
this place is two weeks old .. You will not be disappointed such selection, great price and the quality and taste was amazing. Long-overdue something like this in Sarasota.
Please tell your friends. We need to support this fabulous New business,
I’ve eaten in places like this in St. Petersburg and this one is better than any I’ve ever been to.When you choose your protein, it’s not like other places with strips of meat or cheese and tofu. The choices are Epicurean.
Plus there is free lemon water or flavored cold tea or some juice! I’ve seen other Places charge a couple of dollars For these things
I don’t have dietary restrictions and my friend does. Both of us were amazed! $12 You can add a beautiful piece of salmon which will be good for you, for additional four dollars
(Right next to the melting pot, McCurdys comedy theater..Free inside parking Left of café…)
Like other people mentioned, this place is long-overdue for Sarasota!
The selection is incredible! Vegan, vegetarian, GF, and more! The price range is more than reasonable, the portions are very generous, and the flavors keep you coming back for more! I’m in almost every other day when I can! The lemon rice, lentils, curried chickpeas, sautéed kale, and orange squash are to die for!
I tell all my friends and even random people I meet to check this place out! Myself and many others really want this place to thrive and stay put! We need to support this phenomenal new business!! You won’t be disappointed! Go right now!!
Also, the owner is so lovely and very passionate about food, I’ve sat and chatted to him many times before (i’m a big foodie) and I’ve learned so much more about food and how healing it is.
“Let thy food be thy medicine!!!” 😉
